Abstract: A micro-segmenting networked controller device receives network traffic information from at least one micro-segmenting network devices. At least two of the micro-segmenting networked devices are communicatively coupled to at least one micro-segment within a network. The network is configured to communicatively couple at least two hosts. Traffic flow data is generated from the network traffic information. Network micro-segment traffic rules are augmented employing, at least in part, at least some of the traffic flow data. Authority is received to implement the rules from at least two entities each serving at least one of a multitude of roles. At least one of the micro-segmenting networked devices are programmed to control traffic flow within at least one micro-segment employing the network micro-segment traffic rules.
